"Trump Train" participants accused of harassing a Biden campaign bus on a Texas highway last year are now being sued.

The Texas Civil Rights Project, a Left-leaning nonprofit group advocating for social justice; Protect Democracy, a nonprofit group aimed at preventing the rise of totalitarianism in the United States; and law firm Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP filed a pair of lawsuits with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas against the drivers in the pro-Trump convoy and law enforcement officials "who turned a blind eye to the attack — despite pleas for help — and failed to provide the bus a police escort."

"We filed this lawsuit because everyone should be able to engage in peaceful political activity free from fear, intimidation, or threats of violence," said state Sen. Wendy Davis, a plaintiff on board the Biden bus during the incident.

The plaintiffs seek a court order declaring the incident a violation of the Ku Klux Klan Act of 1871, a law that empowered the president to suspend the writ of habeas corpus to combat the KKK and other white supremacy organizations.
